Law of Opposites

by Sequoia Elisabeth on June 29, 2010

The law of opposites states that when you wish for something the opposite often shows up first so that you can be very clear on what it is that you truly wish for. Many people get disillusioned by this and move on to something else thinking their dreams are unanswered. I am here to explain to you why this is a big mistake.

First of all, all prayers are answered in some form or fashion. Whatever is in the Highest Good is what will manifest. Since you do not know what that is, it is difficult to know if your prayer was answered. So sometimes your prayer is answered in a round-a-bout way. So keep your eyes open for that which you desire.

Make a wish and then be patient it could take a while and you will probably see the opposite first. Say you desire a new partner and a loving relationship. You focus on the person of your dreams and have a list of traits that you like in a person. The people you meet at first will most likely be just the opposite, for instance this is why we often meet the “bad boy” type first before the “Prince in Shining Armour” shows up. The way I look at this is simply that the Universe is questioning your choice and asking you to be certain about what you are looking for. It is a matter of faith!

Those who are certain what they want and are willing to stay focused on this will get it. It is that simple, but is it simple? Not usually. Our minds are always playing tricks with us and one way to get around this is to use subliminal messaging, either audio or video or both. This puts our desires straight into the subconscious mind where everything manifests from. Nothing we hold in consciousness is ever manifest directly. All manifestation comes from the subconscious mind. This is why we have to repeat experiences and prayers over and over till the message filters down.

I compare this process to flotsam. You have a thought about a sexy guy (or girl) you would like to have in your life and this is like flotsam floating on the surface of the sea. The more you have this thought the more it builds and eventually it sinks. When it finally gets down to the bottom of the sea or the subconscious mind then it manifests. If in the mean time you move on to another thought then the subconscious mind is getting mixed signals and ends up manifesting nothing.

So the next time you notice that you are getting the opposite of your desires, for instance you are broke instead of being wildly rich, know that it is just the Universe’s way of showing you contrast and confirming your true desires!
